Title I Program at Solomon-Plains Elementary School Holds 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade STEM Nights

During the month of February, Solomon-Plains Elementary School held three grade spe-cific Math and Science STEM Nights. Students and their families participated in a fun ice-breaker warm-up activity and then worked together to design, create, and build a special project. Third grade worked to see who could make the tallest tower using one sheet of paper and tape. Fourth grade made puff mobiles and competed to see whose car traveled the farthest distance. Fifth grade tried to construct the tallest tower using toothpicks and gumdrops. Mr. Michael Corcoran, Science K-12 & Mathematics K-5 Supervisor and Lorrie Gardner, Title I Parent Liaison/Reading Coach facilitated the event. Several Title I teachers and staff were also at the event to assist the families in the activities. The Title I Federal Programs PowerPoint was displayed and the upcoming PSSA State testing discussed. Par-ents were able to take math and reading materials from the Title I Parent Resource Table, sign up for the Parent Advisory Council and complete a survey for feedback. Finally, eve-ryone enjoyed a snack while they spent time with one another.
Thank you to all who attended!
